Rut Sense Hac

Rut, a sixteen-year-old girl from an average city, begins her art studies at a new high school far away from her neighborhood. She is surrounded by a new group of friends, a love knocking on her door and a deep secret that she has dragged on since the age of four and who has never shown outside the walls of her home: a long scar and a waist too narrow. Every day they remember, from the mirror, that they lacked a part of themselves, a good chunk of Ruth that a cancer was born long ago. Shame on showing her body and fear of returning to her illness beset her, but Ruth will learn to look both of them in the eyes and face them. I had no intention of confessing to them the secret that I had managed to hide until fourth grade in my entire life class. Maybe some reminded me that at the age of five I had disappeared from kindergarten, or that at seven I had returned with that wig that the bravest had tried to stretch, but they had never asked more than I needed and I had not looked for corners under the jasmine. to make me understand or the most intimate. I would not risk now, in front of three almost unknown, let them suspect the existence of my scars.
